Inaugural 1982 Wildcats (Westate) Warm-up Top For Sale
Hi all.
In 1993 I acquired an original Perth Wildats (Westate Wildcats inaugural 1982 season) warmup top (from a family friend who was involved with Chicken Treat at the corporate level). Whispers were it was an Ellis brother, presumably Mike, who was the captain for that season (and obviously beyond!).
I've only ever seen one other like it - a framed version hanging up in the Wildcats then-office in Lords, Subiaco many years ago.
The top is in pristine/mint condition as it has been vacuum-stored and never worn (except by the player of course!).
I was wondering if any of the wise heads on this forum would have a rough idea of the value of such an item? The historical significance and rarity of the item needs no explanation, so I suppose it might be a subjective matter of what a keen fan is willing to pay? I'd much prefer I it enjoyed by someone rather than sitting in a wardrobe for eternity...
I have photos of the item, however I couldn’t figure out how to attach/embed them? Advice please...?
Kind regards,
LeMichael
